About Paths
Your movement, made visible.
Everywhere life takes you leaves a trace.
A walk you took when something changed.
The route home after a long day.
A first run back.
The roads, routines, places and people that quietly become part of who you are.
Most of that movement is never kept.
Paths exists to give it a place.
Today, Paths turns walks, runs, rides, drives, commutes, everyday trips and remembered movements into visual records you can name, keep, share or gift.
Not every movement leaves a route. A tennis match, a yoga class, a padel game. Paths keeps those too, so the movement with no map is kept alongside the rest.
It began with a run
In 2024, after more than twenty years in banking, our founder Niluka found herself between chapters.
So she started moving.
That September, she ran her first 5K through Kensington Gardens with her brother.
38:37.
By the standards of fitness data, nothing unusual.
But when she stopped, she knew something had changed.
It was more than exercise. It was something she wanted to keep.
Apple Fitness recorded the run: distance, route, time. A line on a dark map.
Useful, accurate, and not enough.
It showed where she had been, but it could not hold what it meant.
A year later, she rebuilt that route in Paths and named it But I can move.
Tracking captured the run.
Paths kept what it meant.
The idea
Movement is one of the most universal things we do.
It takes us through places, phases, people and versions of ourselves.
Some of it is tracked into data. Most of it is never kept at all.
Maps help us navigate. Trackers help us measure. Photos remember what something looked like.
Paths makes movement visible.
Not as a score. Not as a feed. But as a record of where life took you, what it meant, and the movements that became part of you.
The category we are building
Movement memory.
For the movements that shape you.
